Does anyone know what size replacement pin would fit a 1970 25 HP Johnson? Length and diameter please. Thank you.

Old OMC part number for the tilt-pin on that motor was #378158. This part number was replaced by OMC part #387524. They can be found as used parts online, researching under either part number, and are available out there. If you don't want to pay the money for one, and you operate on fresh water, you can size the diameter of the clamp bracket tilt pin holes with your drill bit index & get a piece of smooth rod, & thread the ends. don't use threaded rod. and you don't want to do all this if you run in saltwater. if you do, only buy & use an original part.

Thank you. Do you know how long the pin should be? Does 8 inches sound correct?
